IndyHall isn’t about the desks. But it sure works better with them.
Yesterday, we coordinated with a 8 or so of our members to pick up a new batch of desks for IndyHall from Ikea. The next logical step is to put them together!
From 6-8pm on Saturday, April 18th, we’ll be gathering at IndyHall 2.0 at 22 North 3rd Street (street view in google maps). This event is BYOD! That’s Bring Your Own Drill. We’ve got 25 desks to build and teams of 2 are ideal for building these desks. There’s plenty to do for non-drill-holders, but the more drills the better. How many times did I say drill in this paragraph?
When we’re done, we’ll head right around the corner to Sugar Mom’s to celebrate Jess Victor’s birthday. If you’ve ever come to IndyHall for Cupcake Thursdays and enjoyed yourself, you should join us, as Jess is one of the trio behind OpenSourceCupcakes. Even if you’ve never had their cupcakes (which is your problem, not mine), you should still come out and have a good time with us.
All members, new and old, are encouraged to come and hang out together. Not a member but want to hang out too? OF COURSE you’re welcome! The more the merrier.
There’s a dirty rumor that Geoff DiMasi might even make an appearance at the desk building party. The only way to find out if he does is to be there. I don’t know about you, but that’s enough reason for me.
If you can’t make it, that’s OK too. We’ll have a painting party in the next week, and plenty of other opportunities to chip in and hang out.
IMPORTANT: How do I to enter the building at 22 North 3rd?
We don’t have the keypad directory at the front door hooked up just yet, so you can call or text message the IndyHall number (215) 586-3909 when you arrive and someone will come down to let you in.
If you’re confident you will be there, let us know in the comments or send us an email so we can look out for you!
New Year = New Desk Arrangement at IndyHall
Filed under: Announcements, Independents Hall
For the last 8 months or so, we’ve had a layout on the main floor of the IndyHall workspace that somewhat segregated full time members from basic and lite/dropin desks. The full timers were all along the wall, while the loose desks were clustered around some structural poles.
This morning, to welcome the new year, we’ve arranged in a new layout that is designed to mix things up: full time desks and loose desks are now integrated and mixed up! We hope that this gives our less frequent members a chance to interact more with full time members, and vice versa. Can desk arrangements encourage collaboration? We think so at IndyHall!
Come join us and help with the experiment. Whether you’re already a member or not, use our reservation system to set aside a desk sometime this month and come hang out with the IndyHall coworking crew.
And Happy New Year!
